Chapter 124: The Eve of the War
After a day and a night of journey, the large army finally arrived at the border of H City safely.
We encountered zombies along the way, but fortunately, they were only small groups of zombies or lone mutant zombies, and there were very few casualties.
During this day and night, Li Yingying still spared no effort in sending people to assassinate Liu Yu and others, but the people she sent out either died accidentally or disappeared.
She stared at Liu Yu in the military camp with dark eyes. If the same thing happened once, it would be a coincidence. If it happened repeatedly, there must be another hidden story!
This woman Liu Yu seemed to be somewhat out of her control...
"How was it? Did you dream last night?" Huo Huating stared into Li Yingying's eyes and asked.
It was early morning now. If they walked a little further, they would enter H City. The research institute they were targeting was located in the suburbs and they would be able to reach it soon.
However, how this action plan will be implemented and whether it is safe depends on Li Yingying's foresight.
Last night they avoided the military base and performed a live dissection on a pregnant woman. Logically, Li Yingying should have predicted it.
In fact, Li Yingying did fall into a dream after the pregnant woman died, but this time the dream was very vague, and she could not see the specific scenes and characters in it.
She could only get a rough idea of what was going on. She sensed a sense of joy of achievement lingering in the hearts of most people, a scene of victory. At the head of the group were two figures, one tall and one slender.
Judging from their figures and the probability, the two people who successfully led everyone back should be himself and Hua Ting.
She withdrew her gaze from Liu Yu and replied softly with joy in her eyes, "We have gained a lot from this trip. We will definitely return safely and triumphantly. The organization will soon usher in a new turning point in the future."
Huo Huating glanced at the military camp with deep ambition, and his greedy desire almost burst out.
Then he patted Li Yingying's hand soothingly and strode towards the central tent of the Blue Sky Mercenary Group's base.
As soon as he entered, he asked the person inside, "Is the information conveyed by the military spies accurate?"
The dark and strong man in the tent, who was at least two meters tall, glared back at him: "What do you think?"
…
The military set up camp, and no one knew that a conspiracy was about to wrap around them.
In the early morning, the air was still filled with thick fog, which turned into water when touched and was so cold that it froze people.
A group of soldiers, divided into several groups, sat around a makeshift pot, waiting for their last meal before the battle began.
Their food reserves are not as abundant as those of the Future Organization and the Blue Sky Mercenary Group. Most of the food they find has to be supplied to ordinary people in the base, so they can only rely on their own soldiers.
At this moment, a pot of hot seaweed soup was boiling in the pot, and each soldier was holding a large piece of coarse grain cake in his hands.
Waiting for the hot soup to bite the cold pancake, otherwise the cold and hard pancake will be impossible to swallow.
This military team was led by Zhou Zhenghao. He was busy gathering military equipment just before departure yesterday and had no time to take care of his cousin and her teammates.
I suddenly remembered it last night. After I found them and found that they were safe and sound, my pounding heart finally settled down.
At this moment, he, Xu Shuyao, Liu Yu and others were sitting around the big pot reserved for the military leadership.
It is said that the food in the pot is exclusive to the leaders, but in reality the food is the same, except that each person gets one more coarse grain cake than ordinary soldiers.
It looked terribly shabby, while the worst off of the other two teams had thick porridge to drink.
Zhou Zhenghao picked up the stick at his feet and poked the fire to make it burn more vigorously. Then he rubbed his hands and distributed the coarse grain cakes in the bag to everyone.
Liu Yu took his whole grain pancake, broke it in half, and gave it to Lingbao in his arms, who obediently took it. But Xiao Huang in the backpack sniffed the pancake and turned his head away in disgust.
Liu Yu looked around at the young soldiers whose faces were red from the cold. He felt that their faces were very young and they looked no more than twenty years old. Only the squad leader in the lead looked like he had some experience.
What on earth did these young soldiers, who had just joined the army and had to shoulder the burden of the people, experience that enabled them to develop such a strong will so quickly?
She couldn't help but feel moved. The rich variety and huge quantity of materials in the black space made her feel ashamed and embarrassed.
I could vaguely hear a group of soldiers chatting before dinner.
"Squad leader, are you addicted?"
This addiction is certainly not a drug addiction, but a smoking addiction. The squad leader has too many things to take care of, and he has a lot of new recruits on his hands. He is under a lot of pressure and it is inevitable that he needs to smoke a cigarette every three to five days to relieve stress.
But he never tasted it again after the end of the world. He rubbed his fingertips, feeling a little itchy.
"Squad leader, use this, it tastes similar! My dad used this as a substitute when he quit smoking."
The squad leader looked over and saw that the new recruit was holding a half-dry reed in his hand. Seeing that he didn't take it, the kid actually stretched the reed to the fire and lit the end.
The reed caught fire quickly. He quickly blew out the flame, leaving a spark, and then stuffed it close to his squad leader's mouth: "Quick, quick, take a breath! Try it, it really tastes like that!"
The squad leader was baffled and took a sip. Suddenly, the charcoal-barbecue smell from the fire scene rushed into his lungs, choking him so much that he almost coughed out his eyes!
"Ahem, you, you, you good boy!"
The soldiers around the pot all laughed when they saw this, leaving only the clueless boy scratching the back of his head and muttering innocently:
"My dad really told me it works, how could he be lying! I'll definitely question him next time we see each other!"
After I said that, I realized that the hope of seeing them again was too slim, and I didn’t know if they were still alive?
The squad leader was about to scold him, but when he heard the unfinished words, he fell silent.
Then the silly boy started to laugh again, hiding the tears in his eyes.
"Oh, what are you thinking! When my mother sent me to join the army, she told me that a soldier must not be afraid of hardship and must be driven! To be a strong shield for the people!"
"If something happens to me one day, my mother will definitely not be sad. She will only proudly ask, 'Was my precious boy brave in battle?'"
